Thanks Jon; I had not dug into this but have been surprised that no one
else has experienced this issue - perhaps there aren't many SCGI users
yet? For me the issue occurs on several machines and OS versions here,
both dev and production boxes.

Curious - what OS does your Quixote/SCGI application run on? I'm running
FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE and 5.1-CURRENT.
